Tech and Testing

Claiming that Fullback®FC siding insulation is superior to every other fiber cement siding underlayment is not enough for us. We insist on proving it. We engineer and manufacture all Fullback®FC components to exceed the highest standards and specifications set by standards organizations. Then, we commission independent testing laboratories to perform a broad series of rigorous tests to prove the performance of the product.

Our patented, contoured foam insulation exceeds the highest standards and specifications of ASTM International and other standards organizations. Learn more about our engineering, manufacturing process and specific standards testing here.
